Good job.Im in the same boat as you im thinking about doing my first camo job....I just havent grown the kahunas yet........ah hell its just paint......
 
Re: First try camo.

Thanks for the replies and input. It is mostly OD and Tan. Though I used a light mist of black to blend and tame the brightness of the colors. For those of you with more experience where would u add more tan or OD? and would u sponge in misc areas to add more breakup or spray over and redo some of it????

HA Ha I just went for it without thinking ,.... If I would of thought I would of chickened out. Ha Ha I used the sponge method posted on here a few days ago, but went for a little more blend (maybe too much blend). Anyways go for it. I used krylon fusion Camo paint and it was great to work with . Dried enough to add other paints on top of it in like 5 mins.

ha ha u know your right it does....
wow how sad is that, im the one that painted it and didn't even notice till u said something. It does look a lot like my buddies jacket now that I think of it.
 
Re: First try camo.

It blends better than the original all black stock. It is a little too dark on the grass. Out in the woods it looks pretty good on the dirt and ground cover. I think I would like to add some more color but im not sure what where and how. The one thing I am noticing is the pattern accents are all to dark and don't really seem to break up the profile enough.Form a distance it looks all one color. Im thinking about just doing some more sponged on colors like the tan and maybe some more brighter green and brown. Im open ideas.If i decide to do it I will repost new pics.
Thanks for the positive feedback.
